Chapter 204 Together with Gu, work hard for the new order of Dahan!
Watching Zhang Liao leave Guangcheng Pass, Xun Yu let out a sigh of relief: "It's a pity that the captured Yueqi battalion cannot go to the battlefield, otherwise this battle would be more certain."
"Yueqi Camp?"
Liu Bian suddenly remembered something: "Oh, by the way, didn't Wen Yuan capture Xu Rong alive? Bring him here quickly, this man is a rare commander."
(PS: Since the reader doesn’t want Xu Rong to die, let him live. The previous article has been modified.)
Xun Yu naturally understood that King Hongnong loved talents: "Yes, Xu Rong is indeed proficient in the art of war and good at commanding troops. If our army arrives half an hour late in this battle, we still don't know who will win or lose."
"Your Highness will return the account later."
Xun Yu bowed his head and said softly: "I will send someone to escort him into the central army. It is said that the powerful general whom Bo Miao captured alive can actually imitate the Yuanyang Formation in a short time. This person should not be underestimated."
Liu Bian was greatly surprised: "Oh? This is actually happening?"
Xun Yu nodded: "But I heard from Bo Miao that this man is strong-willed and would rather die than surrender. If His Highness wants to subjugate him, I'm afraid you will have to put more effort into it."
Liu Bian was surprised and became more curious: "I didn't expect that Lu Bu would kill his master and seek glory, but he would still have such a loyal minister under his command?"
Xun Yu smiled calmly: "It is said that Lu Bu was kind to him and once saved his life on the battlefield."
Liu Bian suddenly understood and nodded: "That's it."
Immediately.
The two returned to Chengguan.
Liu Bian went straight back to the central army and sat at the top, waiting for the prisoners.
At the same time, the live broadcast room was already abuzz, and everyone seemed to be very interested in the loyal people under Lu Bu's account:
"I can count the talents under Lu Bu on one hand, and I would definitely say Gao Shun."
"Nonsense! The trapped camp led by Gao Shun is an elite infantry force. How can there be infantry under the Wolf Cavalry tent?"
"According to the discussion of our history professional group, the earliest formation of the trap camp should be during the period when Lu Bu occupied Puyang."
"It means... Gao Shun hasn't formed a trap camp yet?"
"If you are really Gao Shun, you can make a lot of money."
"Historically, Gao Shun would rather die than surrender."
"This is a Janglan!"
"..."
During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there were a large number of elite legions.
For example, fall into the camp, follow the white horse, ascend the camp first, ride on tigers and leopards, white-collar elite soldiers, Wudang flying army, etc.
"Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" records:
"(Gao) Shun is an innocent and dignified person. He does not drink alcohol and does not receive rewards. He has more than 800 soldiers, named Thousand Men. Their armor and fighting tools are all well-equipped and neat. Every attack is broken, which is called trapped camp.
.”
According to what Cao Cao said in the "Military Policy Order": "Yuan Benchu had ten thousand armors, and I have twenty armors; Benchu had three hundred horse armors, and I cannot have ten."
According to historians' speculation, the cavalry in the late Han Dynasty was mainly light cavalry.
Therefore, the "armor and fighting equipment are all well-equipped and neat" recorded in "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" should refer to heavy infantry.
certainly!
Equipment is an important part of an army's combat effectiveness, but it is not the most important. The reason why the trapped camp is strong is inextricably linked to its leader, Gao Shun.
As Li Yunlong said in "Bright Sword":
An army also has temperament and character, and this temperament and character are related to the first military commander. If his character is strong, the army will be strong and roaring, and the army will have a soul.
Soldiers are the courage of generals, and generals are the soul of soldiers.
This is why a thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
As long as Gao Shun is there, supplemented by armor and fighting tools, you can fall into the camp.
...
Not to mention the netizens in the live broadcast room, even Liu Bian himself couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Poor Lu Bu, first he was snatched away from Zhang Liao, and now he has to lose Gao Shun?
hehe!
This feeling...
It’s simply not that exciting!
Just when Liu Bian was silent in the fantasy of being trapped in the camp.
"Report—!"
A long announcement sounded outside the tent.
Liu Bian raised his eyes and looked.
The curtain was raised, and Xun Yu appeared in front of Liu Bian with a familiar figure.
That's right.
This person is none other than Xu Rong of the Northern Army.
Xu Rong was forced into the tent. He shook his body and broke free. The soldiers behind him were about to use violence, but Liu Bian waved his hand to stop them and signaled them to exit the tent.
Liu Bian looked Xu Rong up and down and said with great interest: "General Xu, we meet again."
Although Xu Rong was a prisoner, he still had an arrogant look on his face, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he stared at the tiger: "In this battle, I, Xu Rong, am convinced. I will win the battle and lose the enemy. No need to say more, I just want to die quickly."
"Tsk tsk."
Liu Bian stood up slowly, bypassed the handsome man, and moved into the tent: "General Xu, are you so convinced? This is really an eye-opener for me!"
Xu Rong took a deep breath and explained: "The final general is convinced of this battle, but this does not mean that he must submit to His Highness. Now that he has fallen into the hands of His Highness, he just wants to die quickly."
Liu Bian smiled and said: "What? Do you admit that Gu is the Hongnong King and not a traitor?"
Xu Rong knew the slip of the tongue, but was too lazy to correct it: "Whether it is King Hongnong or a traitor, it is meaningless to Rong. Kill me and avenge the dead soldiers."
"Xu Rong!"
Liu Bian stood in front of Xu Rong with his hands behind his back, his eyes as bright as swords, staring at him: "You think too highly of yourself, you are just a knife in Dong Zhuo's hand."
"Kill you for revenge?"
Liu Bian's sharp eyes pierced Xu Rong's heart: "Are you worthy?"
Xu Rong was indifferent: "..."
For a moment, I was speechless.
Liu Bian continued: "To be honest, Gu Zhen wants to kill you right now, then chop you into pieces, throw you piece by piece to the vicious dogs, and eat them separately."
"but......"
Liu Bian took a long tone and softened his words a lot: "Considering that the Northern Army has always been loyal only to the emperor, Gu still wants to give you a chance. When Gu returns to the palace and ascends the throne, you will naturally be loyal to Gu, no?
?”
However, Xu Rong's expression did not soften: "Your Highness, you'd better not exert any effort, Rong will not surrender."
Liu Bian was slightly surprised.
He really didn't expect that Xu Rong would be so stubborn.
Even if you return to the palace and become a great treasure, you still can't make him fall in love?
At this moment, Liu Bian really wanted to kill Xu Rong, cut him into pieces and threw him into the wilderness to feed the wolves.
"General Xu Rong!"
But at this moment, Xun Yu on the side said: "I know that Dong Zhuo has been a favor to you. You have been in the Northern Army for twenty-seven years, but because you were born in a border county, you have always been just a military commander. You have not even been a captain.
Did it.”
"This is your lifelong knot."
Although Xun Yu's voice was gentle, it seemed to have magic power, which moved Xu Rong: "It was Dong Zhuo who promoted you in the army, and it was he who solved the knot in your heart all your life, right?"
At this point, Xu Rong's expression changed slightly: "Yes, the Prime Minister has been very kind to me. How can I, Xu Rong, not repay him? Although everyone in the world is scolding him for being cruel and cruel, to Yu Rong, the Prime Minister is a true hero.
.”
"He dared to challenge the authority of wealthy families and break the extremely decadent rules. Although his methods were cruel, they gave Xu hope."
"The big man needs such heroes!"
Xu Rong took a deep breath, his eyes were bright, and he said sonorously: "I, Xu Rong, am willing to do my best to help the Prime Minister. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."
Eunuchs and relatives are no more susceptible to ringworm and scabies than the big man, but a family that has been prosperous for hundreds of years is the real cancer.
Liu Bian finally understood why Dong Zhuo, who was extremely cruel, had so many people loyal to him, because he represented the voice of the poor who had been suppressed for a long time.
Whether it is Xu Rong or Li Ru, they are all like this.
He accurately captured the contradiction between the scholars in the border counties and the Central Plains families. The chain of contempt that had existed for thousands of years finally broke out at this moment. Dong Zhuo broke the original order of the Han Dynasty and gave the scholars in the border counties hope for improvement.
"But General Xu..."
Faced with Xu Rong's cry, Xun Yu remained as calm as water: "Dong Zhuo was extremely cruel and violent. He did have the ability to break the order of the world, but he did not have the power to recreate it."
"Xun Yu!"
Xu Rong interrupted without hesitation: "Don't forget, your Yingchuan Xun family is also a wealthy family, and today's Sikong Xunshuang has become one of the three nobles in less than a hundred days."
"Although Xun Sikong is a man of both ability and political integrity."
"but......"
Xu Rong's voice changed and he asked sharply: "There are so many people in the world who are both virtuous and talented. Why is it Xun Shuang? Isn't it because he is from the Xun family in Yingchuan?"
"Don't think that I, Xu Rong, don't know why the princes of Guandong want to rebel. Isn't it because the prime minister has touched their interests and they want to take them back?"
"What else are you saying about Qing Junzi?"
"snort!"
Xu Rong exploded completely and snorted angrily: "If the Han Dynasty returns to the control of scholars again, I don't know what it will be like. I, Xu Rong, would rather believe in the prime minister than in the aristocratic family!"
"What about Gu?"
Liu Jian shouted, staring at Xu Rong with burning eyes: "General Xu, can you trust me?"
Xu Rong was indifferent and speechless, but in his eyes, he seemed to have already given the answer.
Liu Bian didn't talk nonsense. He went around behind him and personally untied Xu Rong: "The one who captured you is called Zhang Liao. He is a lonely and beloved general. He is from Yanmen County and belongs to the same border county as you."
"Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from Jiangdong, is the Marquis of Wucheng and the governor of Changsha, but his origin is just a minor official in a border county. Now he is a powerful general second only to Zhang Liao under his solitary tent."
"Although Wen Ruo was born in the Xun family of Yingchuan."
"but......"
Although Liu Bian's voice was soft, it contained the domineering aura of a king: "He is no different from ordinary counselors here in Gu. Gu values his talent more than his background."
Say it.
Liu Bian turned around and sat down gracefully: "Wen Ruo, call Niu Yong and Deng Zhi."
Xun Yu bowed his head and said, "No."
Not long after.
The two came to the big tent, bowed and handed over their hands: "The last general Deng Zhi (Niu Yong), pays homage to His Highness."
Liu Bian waved his hand and said softly: "Bo Miao, Zi Lie, could you please tell General Xu where you came from and what your positions are in the army now?"
Deng Zhi nodded: "The last general, Deng Zhi, was born in the Xinye Deng family and is now a military commander."
Xu Rong was slightly shocked: "The Xinye Deng family is actually just a military commander?"
Deng Zhi was unhappy and frowned slightly: "Why, what official position does the general think I, Deng Zhi, should have?"
"this......"
Xu Rong was indifferent and did not answer.
The Deng family in Xinye, Nanyang, is definitely a wealthy family.
According to Xu Rong's inertial thinking, Liu Bian would always give some favors to the Deng family. Even if he didn't give him a general, he should at least be a captain. He was just a military commander. How could he be worthy of having someone support you with food and grass?
If Deng Zhijun's position as Sima was only a little unexpected for Xu Rong, then Niu Yong's subsequent appointment completely overturned Xu Rong's outlook on life.
"The last general Niu Yong, the former Yellow Turbans in Funiu Mountain, is now the school captain."
Boom~~
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
The Xu Ronglai is crispy on the outside, tender on the outside, golden and crispy on the inside.
"You...you...you are actually...an old member of the Yellow Turbans?"
Xu Rong's eyes were as wide as bells, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"how?"
Niu Yong was quite dissatisfied with Xu Rong's reaction: "His Highness has not looked down on me, so who do you think you are? Although I, Niu Yong, am an old member of the Yellow Turbans, His Highness said that only military merit is important, regardless of origin."
"alright."
Liu Bian waved his hand to interrupt, and said with a smile: "Zi Lie, don't be angry."
Niu Yong raised his hand and said, "How dare you, the general?"
"Go down and try to appease the brothers. I heard that you suffered a lot of damage in this battle. Don't let the brothers get upset."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the end will be around and there will be no problems."
"good."
Liu Bian nodded: "In that case, please step back."
Niu Yong, Deng Zhi handed over his hand: "No."
After he left, Liu Bian's eyes fell on Xu Rong again: "General Xu, I must admit that the current Han Dynasty does have some ills, and it cannot be cured without using strong medicine."
"But don't worry."
Liu Bian took a deep breath and said loudly: "Gu Nai is of Guangwu's blood, and the real emperor of the Han Dynasty naturally hopes that the Han Dynasty can get rid of his illness and make a complete recovery, but this will take time and cannot be achieved overnight."
"As Wen Ruo said, Dong Zhuo has the ability to break the order of the world, but he does not have the power to recreate it. But Gu can do things that Dong Zhuo cannot do."
"If you are willing to believe in me."
Liu Bian then extended an olive branch and said solemnly: "Then stay by Gu's side and work together with Gu for the new order of the Han Dynasty. If Gu goes astray one day, you can leave and even fight with him."
"this......"
Xu Rong was shocked and stared at Liu Bian in disbelief.
He couldn't believe it.
The Prince Bian, who behaved lightly and showed no dignity before, could actually say such a shocking and enlightening speech.
I have to admit that Xu Rong was really moved.
At this moment, Xun Yu bowed his head again: "General, Dong Zhuo has indeed broken the rules of this world, but it was only for his own selfish gain, not for the real plan of the world."
"Not to mention that this time the princes challenge Dong, he will undoubtedly lose. Even if he wins by chance, he will never become a hero in the general's mouth."
"In this world..."
Speaking of this, Xun Yu bowed his hand to Liu Bian and said, "I am afraid that only Your Highness can truly rebuild the world, so that the great man can relieve his pain and become new, and he can stand proudly in the world."
Xu Rong pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.
He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "General Xu Rong is willing to believe in His Highness. From now on, he is willing to follow His Highness and fight for the new order of the Han Dynasty for the rest of his life. Even if he dies, he will have no regrets."
Liu Bian was overjoyed. He stood up and walked into the palace. He helped Xu Rong up with his own hands and said, "Don't worry, General Xu. Gu will live up to his high expectations."
At this moment, netizens in the live broadcast room were also excited:
"It is indeed a pity for Xu Rong in history. I hope that under the leadership of Mr. Bian, he can shine."
"Master Bian's mind should be like this. Xu Rong is a talented general and must be put to good use."
"Xu Rong is also a poor man. He has been in the Northern Army for more than 20 years, but he is just a military commander."
"Yes! No wonder there are relatively few records about him in history. It turns out that's the case."
"The family cannot be wiped out, it can only be allowed to rotate, like cutting leeks, one crop after another."
"That's right! Give a poor family a chance to improve, but don't let the aristocratic family have a complete monopoly."
"Actually, what the poor family really wants is a fair opportunity."
